The weather is as cold as a day, and Xiao Dongda has never been out since he entered the palace. However, she was not bored at home, accompanied by the Shen sisters, and Zhao Lu and Shen Jing also came over as soon as they got out of school. Moreover, there is a big flower room in the palace, although it is the middle of winter, it is still full of flowers, not to mention peony, peony, jasmine and begonia, these flowers are not in the same season, but they can bloom at the same time in the flower room. In the words of the nurse Hu Shi: "I don't love the prince next to him, and looking at some flowers and plants is also pleasant." Besides, the thirty gardeners are divided into three shifts to take care of them, and if they can't raise the flowers, what do they have to do? ”

Hongya also smiled and said: "Other people's houses raise opera singers, our houses raise flowers, people raise ears, and we raise eyes." ”

Hu shook his head and said, "What do you know, there are more people, there are more right and wrong, and they are all mixed and confused. Where is the peace of mind of flowers and grass. ”

Right! Xiao Dong raised his hands and feet in approval.

Whether it is a domestic drama or a singer, it is equivalent to a domestic prostitute, and the life and death transactions are in the hands of the head of the family, but there must be more than one man in the family, old and young, up and down, left and right, a mess and entanglement.

Fortunately, her father, Prince An, is not good at this.

The population in King An's mansion is simple, King An has died two wives, and now there are only three concubines around him, one is Mrs. Ming, the other two are maidservants, and one surname is Cheng, and Mrs. Ming is the same as the palace, but there is no lady's name. One is the maid of the pioneer Princess Shen, surnamed Liu. These two people are like invisible people in the mansion, Xiao Dong has only seen them once at King An's place, and they retreated because they saluted, and they didn't even see their faces clearly. However, they did send something, a set of clothes and two pairs of shoes, saying that they were all made by themselves. However, Hu Shi accepted it with a smile, turned his face to the side, and told Hongyan Hongying that the clothes and meals given by the people outside should not be used regardless of who made them and who sent them.

What Xiaodong is common to all is Hu's gentle and loving appearance towards her, and when I see her cold face at first glance, I am really not used to it.

However, as soon as Hu Shi turned his face, Leng Li immediately disappeared, and he smiled like a chick hen.

When his mother died, Xiaodong was also sad, but it was not so profound.

Because for her, the actual mother in this life should be the Hu family. Moreover, the Hu family did not have any reservations about her, and when there was no one, the Hu family whispered her name, like all mothers calling their children. Only when there are others, she is called the county lord.

As for not eating what others give and not wearing clothes that others handle, Xiao Dong can understand. Not to mention the palace and the palace, it is an ordinary rich family, and there are many fighting methods in the back house, she used to watch it in the novel and on TV.

If you don't go out, Xiaodong also has a pastime.

She can write.

Yes, it's writing.

Zhao Lu taught her, starting from the simplest heaven, earth and people, these are not much different from the words of later generations, of course Xiao Dong will learn it. The student gives face like this, and the teacher naturally teaches with great energy, and after a few days of teaching, Zhao Lu found that his sister had learned hundreds of words, which was called a Yiyang. Zhao Dashizi thinks that his sister knows so many words, on the one hand, of course, his sister is a good embryo and smart. On the other hand, of course, it is he who teaches well and teaches well in order to have such fruitful results.

Xiaodong is fast in recognizing, but he can't write, in a word, it's a pen walking dragon snake-

The horizontal is curved, the vertical is curved, well, if you want to say that it is like a dragon and a snake, it is a little wronged by the dragon and snake, okay, then the pen is good to walk the earthworm. But no one cares. It's good for a child to be so old that he can read, and it's even rarer to be able to write, so what does it matter if it's good-looking or ugly? First, she was still young, and she had just learned and practiced. Second, she is a woman, and she doesn't want to be a talent, who will accuse her of not being able to do it?

Zhao Lu was so proud that he couldn't do it: "My sister is smart, like me." In the future, she will definitely be a great talent. ”

Xiao Dong just laughed.

Even if she is smart, it is like King An or like her mother, Zhao Lu can't get her turn in line.

However, although Xiaodong is not good at writing, he uses high-quality paper and ink. The paper is high-quality green bamboo paper, and the ink is pine smoke ink made by the palace. Xiao Dong felt that she had ruined good things with such a bad word at first, but later realized that this Ah Mo Ah was also her share of being the county lord.

This example is not only the annual silver and rice, clothing, and food, but also the paper, pen and ink. She even has one more than Zhao Lu's share: fat powder and jewelry.

Although she is still young and doesn't need it, the court stipulates that it is so, and it never says that because she is young, the rice given to her will be discounted in half, and the rouge will be deducted and not given to it.

Not to mention that Xiao Dong is the only daughter of King An, the county lord who is serious about the jade plate, and he is favored, even if he is ruined to the distant branch clan that only receives ten taels of silver per month, the inner government will never deduct his share of the money.

Her unused fat powder, the Hu family distributed it to the Shen family sisters, but those palace flower hairpin rings and the like were not given away. Xiao Dong thought at first that she didn't think that the fat powder would expire and be wasted if it was put away, and it was not interesting to keep it if she didn't give it away, and hairpin rings and the like were more valuable, so she didn't give them to relatives.

As a result, Tianhong Aya and Xiao Yahuan talked about it, and she knew that these palace things can't be worn casually, how to wear them, and what kind of wear them, they are all particular. Not to mention what is worn on the head, even what is worn on the body is the same, what can be embroidered and what cannot be embroidered, even the lace buttons cannot be wrong.

When Xiao Dong wrote, the cuffs of his hands were tied up so as not to be dipped in ink.

"Come, look, take the pen like this...... Oh, hold it steady, come, write a word first. ”

Xiao Dong's movements were stiff, and he had never felt that a pen was so heavy.

The pen fell, twisting and turning, like an ugly black worm crawling on the white paper.

Zhao Lu couldn't help but smile: "Well, it's well written." ”

What does it mean to speak nonsense with your eyes open, this is an illustration of living out.

Xiao Dong put the pen aside, and Zhao Lu hurriedly smiled: "Really, the writing is really good." Come on, little sister, write another one. ”

"I won't write it."

Is...... Can she still write this? It's just that I'm not used to using this soft brush.

Xiao Tang, the scholar of Zhao Lu, who was grinding ink on the side, said with a smile: "The prince has been in the school for a while, and he can be a master for our county lord, and this school is really not in vain." ”

Zhao Lu usually treats people kindly, and the little maids around him are not afraid of him. However, Zhao Lu's nurse Qi Shi, who was doing needlework on the side, raised her head and took a look, Xiao Tang wilted all of a sudden, his arrogance disappeared, and he lowered his head to grind the ink honestly.

Xiao Dong pushed Zhao Lu's hand: "I can write it myself." ”

Zhao Lu smiled and stood aside: "Okay, the little sister is the smartest, come on, you can write." ”

Xiao Dong also imagined that Zhao Lu taught her to hold a pen, but unfortunately the pen shaft was too slippery, too hard and too heavy - this is a set of elegant and luxurious jade pens, a box of five branches, I don't know who gave a set of birthday gifts.

It looks good, but it's not as good as the bargain on the street when you write it.

She trembled and slashed again. This time it's much better than just now, not like an earthworm - well, like a flat pole.

Zhao Lu smiled and praised repeatedly: "Well written!" It's so well written! ”

Xiao Tang twisted his face to the side, the prince is a smart and talented man who is praised by everyone, and he is both civil and military, but this ability to praise people is too bad, how fake is this praise...... Even he couldn't listen to it.

Xiao Dong put the pen down: "Don't write." ”

"Okay, don't write it. The sun is shining today, shall we go to the garden to play? I'll accompany you to see the fish? "Anyway, Zhao Lu didn't go to school on vacation today, and some of them slowly stayed at home with his sister.

Xiao Tang watched the prince go out with the county lord like a treasure, looked at the pool of ink he grinded, and then looked at the luxurious jade pen that was abandoned by writing two earthworms and flat poles, and was stunned for a while, before he neatly rolled up his sleeves and picked up the bookcase.

He had just carefully cleaned the pen on which he had written, and the water was so clear that there was no ink mark, and someone was talking outside.

"Little Brother Tang, can the prince be in the house?"

Xiao Tang put the jade pen into the box and answered: "Yes." ”

He pushed the door out, and the person standing outside was Zhu Yong, the deputy steward of the inner courtyard. Zhu Yong is almost thirty years old, and he is not much older than Xiao Tang, but he politely calls him Brother Xiao Tang.

"The prince is not here, so I will accompany the county lord to the back garden." Xiao Tang asked, "Steward Zhu, what's the matter?" ”

Zhu Yong said: "The two sons of General Luo's family came and said that they wanted to meet the prince. ”

Xiao Tang asked strangely: "The prince and General Luo's two are not familiar with each other, just nod in the academy, what are they doing?" ”

Zhu Yong knew that although Xiao Tang was clever, he was still young, and he didn't know much about things here. King An is the emperor's younger brother, and he is very trusted by the emperor, others want to stammer, but unfortunately King An has a cold temperament, is a noble person, and does not like to socialize with these people, they can't stammer. If you want to take the inner house route, even the two princesses of An have passed away, and you can't get through. Of course, we have to find another way.

"It's nothing, it's almost the end of the year—I wonder if there will be a daughter who wants to see the county lord in two days."

Xiao Tang shook his head in disbelief: "The county lord is still a child, what do others do when they see her?" ”

"Do you believe it or not? If you don't believe us, let's make a bet. Zhu Yong patted him on the shoulder: "What do you think the young master of the Shen family is here for?" ”

Xiao Tang blinked, a little understood, but he hadn't thought it through yet.

"If they come, don't they come?" Zhu Yong said: "You either go by yourself, or ask someone to spread the word, and tell the world, although there is no deep friendship, but since others have come to the door, it is not easy to see it." ”

Xiao Tang agreed, he is not too old, so there is no need to shy away from it.

He pondered all the way.

Of course he understood what Zhu Yong meant - what a blessing it was to be able to have a relationship with the prince. Others don't say it, just take him Xiao Tang himself, who knew which onion he was in the palace before? But because the prince liked him when he picked a scholar, he picked him with his hands and feet, and now who in the house doesn't see him smiling?

In front of him is the prince of the same county, who is leading people to feed the fish on the pavilion. Xiao Tang lifted his spirits and walked over with a quicker pace.

Xiao Dong raised his head, the two of them should have been feeding the fish just now, but for some reason, the mixed fish food residue was actually stained on his face. Xiao Tang hurriedly lowered his head: "The prince, the county lord." ”

"Well, what's the matter?"

Zhao Lu raised his head, and sure enough, he also had fish food on his face.

"General Luo's family, Luo Xiao and Luo Wei, the two sons, ask to see the prince."

"Huh? Who? ”

Zhao Lu didn't remember that he couldn't blame him, he hadn't spoken to these two in school. Xiao Tang can't be rude as a scholar, he naturally remembers these two people, and he is quite impressed. The two brothers have always been like a person, in and out together, and tall and broad-shouldered, the two brothers stood at the door, like a wall, even the wind is impermeable, nicknamed the double door panel, Xiao Tang can't be impressed.

"That's ......" Xiao Tang lowered his voice: "Brother ...... door panel"

Zhao Lu suddenly realized: "It turned out to be them - but what are they doing?" ”

Xiao Tang pondered, he must have come to hug your prince's thick legs. But when the words came to his mouth, he became: "I think it's because I got a day off from school, so let's come to play with my son." ”

Zhao Lu said: "I don't know them well. ”

Xiao Dong asked curiously, "Brother Door Panel?" ”

Zhao Lu was bent on pleasing his sister, and said with a smile: "These brothers are from Jiangmen, they are five big and three thick, and their bodies are like door panels. He paused: "If my sister is curious, I will call them in, and you can see them too." ”
